The Morning After Wrestlemania 32

I verily enjoyed last night's Wrestlemania. It was good. There were a few not-so-good outcomes, but it was still good overall.

Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, and... Stone Cold Steve Austin!
So the New Day had their match with the boring League of Nations. WWE knew fans wouldn't get into this match, so WWE had a great surprise waiting for us. A Wrestlemania moment. After the New Day inexplicibly lost to the League of Nations (luckily the titles weren't on the line this time, for some reason). And then as the League of Nations say that there are no three men who can stand toe to toe with them out comes HBK, Shawn Michaels, in his wrestling gear, followed by Mick Foley and the Texas Rattlesnake himself Stone Cold Steve Austin, wearing a Dallas 3:16 T-shirt that I now want. They proceeded to kick ass. New Day came back in the ring to celebrate by getting the 3 hall of famers to dance with them, ending in Xavier Woods receiving a Stone Cold Stunner. It was pretty great, and a good way to save an uninteresting bout.

7-Man Ladder Match
 It wasn't as convoluted as I thought it would be. This ended up being a good match. Sami Zayn came out to a great reaction from the WWE Texan crowd, which bodes well... hopefully. I would say this match was good enough to stop me from wishing it was a singles bout between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, but that would be impossible. Still, it was a good match. And a surprise winner in Zack Ryder, who definitely deserves it. WWE could have had Sami Zayn win and have a massive boost to start his WWE main roster career, but Zack deserves it, and I guess Sami and Owens don't need a title to keep their fued interesting. They can prove they're main event and world champion caliber wrestlers without having the title.

Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar
Did this match feel oddly short to anyone else? It was a great match. Ambrose put Lesnar on his heels, and proved how good he is, but Ambrose has already proven how good he is plenty of times. It would have been a great oppurtunity for WWE to say that they take Ambrose seriously as a wrestler to compete on the level of Roman Reigns, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, and the likes of John Cena and Seth Rollins. But he lost, and he's still only on Ambrose level; that is, having important matches but losing 100% of them. 2015 was Rollins' year. 2016 is Reigns' year. Maybe 2017 will be for Ambrose.

Diva's... No wait, Women's Championship Match
A new women's championship. Good. Although I don't like the colour scheme so much, still good though, and cool that it's the same design as the men's world championship. I look forward to the day when people mention the WWE Championship and people have to ask "Are you talking about the men's or the women's?" This was a fantastic match. The crowd really got invested in it as well. This could've easily been one of the "main events" of the show. Here's hoping a women's main event for next year. Hopefully with Bayley. Bayley for champ 2017! Also seeing Becky Lynch suicide dive Ric Flair was awesome. Oh yeah and Charlotte moonsaulted from the top rope to the outside. It was amazing. This match arguably stole the show at Wrestlemania. Charlotte won this match, to become the Women's champion. I think Sasha is still the fan favourite though. She'll get the belt eventually.

Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker
Cool match. Highlight was Shane jumping off the cell to deliver an elbow to the undertaker through the table. It was crazy. Undertaker won to fight another wrestlemania. Really don't know where they're going with the Shane being back story after this....

Battle Royale
WWE really love their Andre the Giant Battle Royale. This was a pretty lame match. It served as the buffer to for people to chill out before the main event. Even though there was another segment before the main event, but it involved The Rock, and you can't go to the toilet or go to buy another beer if The Rock is speaking. Baron Corbin from NXT won this, which is pretty cool. It kinda shows that they don't care much about it if it's going to someone that hasn't been on raw or smackdown yet, but also it might be a sign of Corbin going to the main roster, which would be cool.

The Rock vs Eric Rowan
I shit you not, this happened. The Rock came out down the ramp through the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Lucky man. Fun fact: The cheerleaders came out to Thunderstruck by AC/DC but WWE have cut it and replaced the music. The Rock comes out, Wrestlemania 32 broke attendance record, he had a flamethrower, it was cool. Then the Wyatts come out, making it even cooler. They have a cool verbal confrontation, the the Rock rips off his clothes to reveal he's wearing his wrestling gear. He and Rowan have a match that I think lasted 7 seconds. Rock bottom and pin. Bray gets angry and the family get ready to attack. John Cena's music hits to an impressive ovation. The crowd still chant "John Cena sucks" a bit to Cena's music, but seem otherwise happy with his appearance. I was a bit disappointed that he didn't take to the mic, but oh well. Maybe WWE aren't trying to shove Cena down our throats.

Triple H vs Roman Reigns
Somebody has been reading 1984. Triple H's intro was pretty cool. Steph introduces him by making a very corrupt dictatorial speech. With Roman on the other side of this fued she might be able to make an oppressive authority into the good guys. The match wasn't so great though. For such a physical fued where they've battered the hell out of each other backstage, using anything they can get as weapons, it was strange that their fued culminates in a standard by-the-book match. It could've been better as a No DQ match. But also the crowd just didn't like Roman. They cheered when Triple H was winning and booed when Roman was winning. As did I. We have no reason to like Roman. He's not such a good guy. He's had the odds stacked against him, yes, but before that he was just a guy that wants to be champion, and afterwards he is still just a guy that wants to be champion. He hasn't shown himself to be a nice guy, or an underdog. There's nothing to his character. Which is a shame. He could be done better. There were no twists, no heel turns, it was a clean match and Roman won. And everyone went home disappointed. Also, Steph was great.

Overall it was a good event, with a lot of great matches. Just a disappointing ending. Really looking forward to Monday Night Raw though. I wonder what surprises WWE have in store for us.
